Atmospheric scientists at Rothera and Halley Research Stations collect data about the atmosphere above Antarctica this is done by launching radiosonde meteorological balloons which have small sensors and a transmitter attached to them. The balloons are filled with helium and so rise high into the Antarctic atmosphere sampling the air and transmitting the data back to the station far below. A radiosonde meteorological balloon holds an impressive 2,000 litres of helium, giving it enough lift to climb for up to two hours. Helium is lighter than air and so causes the balloon to rise rapidly through the atmosphere, while the instruments beneath it sample all the required data and transmit the information back to the surface. - Permissions for information on radiosonde meteorological balloons kindly provided by British Antarctic Survey.

  • Navigation on Shackleton's Voyage to Antarctica
    Records of the Canterbury Museum, 2019 Vol. 33: 5–22 © Canterbury Museum 2019 5 Navigation on Shackleton’s voyage to Antarctica Lars Bergman1 and Robin G Stuart2 1Saltsjöbaden, Sweden 2Valhalla, New York, USA Email: [email protected] On 19 January 1915, the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition, under the leadership of Sir Ernest Shackleton, became trapped in their vessel Endurance in the ice pack of the Weddell Sea. The subsequent ordeal and efforts that lead to the successful rescue of all expedition members are the stuff of legend and have been extensively discussed elsewhere. Prior to that time, however, the voyage had proceeded relatively uneventfully and was dutifully recorded in Captain Frank Worsley’s log and work book. This provides a window into the navigational methods used in the day-to- day running of the ship by a master mariner under normal circumstances in the early twentieth century. The conclusions that can be gleaned from a careful inspection of the log book over this period are described here. Keywords: celestial navigation, dead reckoning, double altitudes, Ernest Shackleton, Frank Worsley, Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition, Mercator sailing, time sight Introduction On 8 August 1914, the Imperial Trans-Antarctic passage in the 22½ foot (6.9 m) James Caird to Expedition under the leadership of Sir Ernest seek rescue from South Georgia.

  • Cumulated Bibliography of Biographies of Ocean Scientists Deborah Day, Scripps Institution of Oceanography Archives Revised December 3, 2001
    Cumulated Bibliography of Biographies of Ocean Scientists Deborah Day, Scripps Institution of Oceanography Archives Revised December 3, 2001. Preface This bibliography attempts to list all substantial autobiographies, biographies, festschrifts and obituaries of prominent oceanographers, marine biologists, fisheries scientists, and other scientists who worked in the marine environment published in journals and books after 1922, the publication date of Herdman’s Founders of Oceanography. The bibliography does not include newspaper obituaries, government documents, or citations to brief entries in general biographical sources. Items are listed alphabetically by author, and then chronologically by date of publication under a legend that includes the full name of the individual, his/her date of birth in European style(day, month in roman numeral, year), followed by his/her place of birth, then his date of death and place of death. Entries are in author-editor style following the Chicago Manual of Style (Chicago and London: University of Chicago Press, 14th ed., 1993). Citations are annotated to list the language if it is not obvious from the text. Annotations will also indicate if the citation includes a list of the scientist’s papers, if there is a relationship between the author of the citation and the scientist, or if the citation is written for a particular audience. This bibliography of biographies of scientists of the sea is based on Jacqueline Carpine-Lancre’s bibliography of biographies first published annually beginning with issue 4 of the History of Oceanography Newsletter (September 1992). It was supplemented by a bibliography maintained by Eric L. Mills and citations in the biographical files of the Archives of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UCSD.

  • Representations of Antarctic Exploration by Lesser Known Heroic Era Photographers
    Filtering ‘ways of seeing’ through their lenses: representations of Antarctic exploration by lesser known Heroic Era photographers. Patricia Margaret Millar B.A. (1972), B.Ed.

Patricia Margaret Millar Date This thesis may be made available for loan and limited copying in accordance with the Copyright Act 1968. ………………………………….. ………………….. Patricia Margaret Millar Date ii Abstract Photographers made a major contribution to the recording of the Heroic Era of Antarctic exploration. By far the best known photographers were the professionals, Herbert Ponting and Frank Hurley, hired to photograph British and Australasian expeditions. But a great number of photographs were also taken on Belgian, German, Swedish, French, Norwegian and Japanese expeditions. These were taken by amateurs, sometimes designated official photographers, often scientists recording their research. Apart from a few Pole-reaching images from the Norwegian expedition, these lesser known expedition photographers and their work seldom feature in the scholarly literature on the Heroic Era, but they, too, have their importance. They played a vital role in the growing understanding and advancement of Antarctic science; they provided visual evidence of their nation’s determination to penetrate the polar unknown; and they played a formative role in public perceptions of Antarctic geopolitics.

RAINA, S.MUKERJI, A.S. GILL AND F. DOTIWALA* Geological Survey of India; Oil & Natural Gas Commission Introduction Antarctic continent is surrounded, all around by a permanent ice shelf, at places almost 100 km wide. Besides this circum-continental shelf, there also exist three major ice shelves, Fig.1. The area along south Weddell Sea reconnoitred by the Expedition. 2 V.K. Rainaetal. namely: Ross ice shelf; Amery ice shelf and the Filchner-Ronne ice shelf, which cover the embayments (inlets) within the physiographic domain of this continent. The Filchner and Ronne ice shelves exist along the southern and the south-western limits of the Weddell Sea within the longitudes 34° W and 63° W and latitudes 78° S to 82° S and cover an area of about 5,00,000 km including some large ice rises. This shelf, as the name suggests, comprises the Filchner shelf, in the east, and larger of the two, Ronne shelf in the west, separated, along the northern extremity i.e. north of 81° S latitude, by the largest ice rise in Antarctica - the Berkner island. Southward, the two shelves merge into one. Filchner Shelf is named after Wilhelm Filchner, the Leader of the German Expedition that landed and established a field station on it, for the first time, way back in 1912. This shelf differs from the circum-continental shelf in being more rugged, crevassed and rumpled with large escarpments, and is primarily the extension of the Polar ice.

  • Parallel Precedents for the Antarctic Treaty Cornelia Lüdecke
    Parallel Precedents for the Antarctic Treaty Cornelia Lüdecke INTRODUCTION Uninhabited and remote regions were claimed by a nation when their eco- nomic, political, or military values were realized. Examples from the North- ern and Southern hemispheres show various approaches on how to treat claims among rivaling states. The archipelago of Svalbard in the High Arctic and Ant- arctica are very good examples for managing uninhabited spaces. Whereas the exploration of Svalbard comprises about 300 years of development, Antarctica was not entered before the end of the nineteenth century. Obviously, it took much more time to settle the ownership of the archipelago in the so-called Sval- bard Treaty of 1920 than to find a solution for Antarctica and the existence of overlapping territorial claims by adopting the Antarctic Treaty of 1959. Why was the development at the southern continent so much faster? What is the es- sential difference between the situations obtaining in the two hemispheres? Was there a transposition of experiences from north to south? And did the Svalbard Treaty help to construct the Antarctic Treaty? Answers to these questions will be given by the analysis of single periods in the history of polar research, scientific networks, and special intergovernmental and nongovernmental organizations with concomitant scientific or economic interests that merged in the twentieth century to arrange exploration and exploitation of polar regions on an interna- tional basis. EXPLORATION AND SCIENCE BEFORE WORLD WAR I SVALBARD After the era of whaling around the archipelago of Svalbard, the Norwe- gians were the only ones to exploit the area economically, including fishing, Cornelia Lüdecke, SCAR History Action since the 1850s, whereas Swedish expeditions starting in the same decade were Group, Fernpaßstraße 3, D- 81373 Munich, the first to explore the interior of the islands (Liljequist, 1993; Holland, 1994; Germany.

He was elected Rector of Lvov University for years 1898–1899. Kadyi organized emerging Academy of Veterinary Medicine and Faculty of Medicine in Lvov. He equipped them with excellent anatomical facilities, e.g., remarkable collections of anatomical specimens. Kadyi worked out plans and such a detailed curriculum of higher studies in veterinary medicine, that it was raised to the ranks of academic discipline. He profoundly described accessory praehyoid and suprahyoid remnants of thyroid tissue and reasoned the anatomic term of arteria radicularis magna for artery of Adamkiewicz. Kadyi’s social endeavors enabled women an access to higher education and university employment in 1895. His academic foresight, thrift and vigilance made Kadyi deserve a title of Rector Vigilantissimus.

  • Redescription of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Heterokrohnia
    HELGOLANDER MEERESUNTERSUCHUNGEN Helgol~inder Meeresunters. 45,253-262 (1991) Redescription of Heterokrohnia mirabilis Ritter-Zfihony, 1911 (Chaetognatha) Helga Kapp* Biologische Anstalt Helgoland; NotkestraBe 31, D-W-2000 Hamburg 52, Federal Republic of Germany and Zoologisches Institut und Zoologisches Museum der Universit&t Hamburg; Martin-Luther-KJng-Platz 3, D-W-2000 Hamburg 13, Federal Repubh'c of Germany** ABSTRACT: The genus Heterokrohnia Ritter-Z~hony, 1911 is redefined and the species H. mirabilis Ritter-Z~hony, 1911 redescribed. The redescription is based upon the type specimens from Antarctic waters and additional specimens from Atlantic and Arctic waters. The species is compared to others of the genus. Furthermore, the identity of certain specimens reported as H. mirabih's is discussed: INTRODUCTION During the German Southpolar Expedition of the R.V. "Gauss" (1901-1903) eight chaetognaths were collected, for which Ritter-Z~hony (191 I) erected the genus Hetero- krohnia with the type species H. mirabilis. The specimens were found at three stations south of the Kerguelen Islands. I received these eight specimens from the Zoological Museum for Natural History of the Humboldt University in Berlin when preparing the description of H. [ragilis Kapp & Hagen, 1985 and H. longidentata Kapp & Hagen, 1985. Only three of the eight specimens belonged to H. mirabilis; five smaller specimens turned out to belong to H. fragilis or to 14. longidentata. Consequently, some characters Ritter- Z~hony had ascribed to H. mirabflis are not present in this species. On the other hand, a study of the three remaining specimens of H. mirabilis revealed some organs and structures not noticed by Ritter-Z~hony.
